Events agency strengthens Belfast presence

A North East-based events agency is accelerating its growth strategy by strengthening links with a fast-emerging conference and events destination.

BeaconHouse Events has partnered with Visit Belfast to expand its presence in Northern Ireland, recognising the city’s growing reputation as a sustainable and forward-thinking location for world-class events.

Bosses say the partnership reflects a shared commitment to responsible event delivery, with Belfast increasingly recognised on the global stage for sustainability, supported by accolades awarded to organisations including ICC Belfast and Visit Belfast.

Although BeaconHouse is already delivering projects in the city, the collaboration will enable the agency to deepen relationships with local suppliers, venues, universities and regional partners, helping to support sustainable supply chains and raise Belfast’s profile among corporate and international association markets.

Cat Duhaut, co-founder and director of BeaconHouse Events, said: “Belfast is my home city and it has everything you could want from an event destination. 

“It’s incredibly amenable as an event city, with world-class venues like the ICC, award-winning sustainability initiatives, and a genuinely collaborative local network which mirrors the community we see in the North East. 

“There’s a lot of creative energy here and we’re excited to be part of it.”

Judith Abraham, head of business events at Visit Belfast, added: “We’re delighted to announce our partnership with BeaconHouse Events as we continue to position Belfast as a dynamic and world-class destination for business events. 

“This collaboration strengthens our shared ambition to deliver impactful events that attract global audiences, drive economic growth, and showcase the city’s unique blend of innovation, culture and warm hospitality.”

The move follows a strong year for the award-winning agency, which has continued to place sustainability at the centre of its growth strategy.

BeaconHouse Events has secured major client wins and industry recognition for its approach, including being named among the UK’s top 30 most sustainable event agencies by micebook and event:decision.

Cat added: “We care about creating events that leave a positive impact while also working collaboratively with partners to support the events sector to make more conscious choices as a whole, and Belfast offers an incredible platform to continue that work. 

“It’s a city that’s living and breathing the values that matter most to our industry.

“While BeaconHouse Events will continue to be headquartered in our North East home that we love, as we look ahead to 2026, the team plans to spend much more time in Belfast and across Northern Ireland, supporting clients, championing local partnerships, and continuing to raise the bar for responsible event delivery and we would love to talk events with more organisations who want to make great things happen.”
